Detailed historical description of the B7A-2 Ryuseikai aircraft:

The B7A Ryusei (Ryuseikai – 神風改, translated as: "Reformed Meteor Star") was an advanced Japanese carrier-based bomber designed during the final phase of World War II. The design was created for the new aircraft carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The aircraft stood out for its exceptional versatility, being capable of performing both torpedo attacks and dive bombing missions. Although the B7A was technically ahead of many contemporary aircraft, logistical issues and the limited number of available carriers meant it entered only limited service during the final months of the Pacific War, mainly from land bases.
